10 Winter-Friendly Face Products for Men

Once January hits you may wake up looking like "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" instead of "The Picture of Dorian Gray."

Forget the chemical peel to achieve that smooth-as-a-baby’s-bottom complexion and instead rely on our suggestions for ten of the best facial moisturizers and products to keep you looking young and fresh.

Just remember, a little goes a long way when using high-quality products. Use sparingly and you’ll be as fresh as a daisy by the time they actually bloom this spring.

Slather with Care

Christina Cosmeceuticals Age Fighter Cream SPF 15Repair and protect skin with the Age-Fighter Cream, which takes advantage of the newest UVA and UVB filters for maximum sun protection.

This matte-textured cream treatment improves the skin’s moisture levels leaving skin smooth and without residue. Christina Zehavi, the woman behind the Christina Company, has been developing skincare products since 1982 and she still looks fabulous, so we’re trusting that this stuff works. $74

Blade ButterSkip the toast and instead slather this all-natural shaving product on your scruff. BladeButter takes advantage of Nano Filtration, a process that makes oil molecules smaller and better able to penetrate into the metal of your razor blade. A 1.5 oz. jar lasts four to six months. $17.95
